Hopeless yet still feeling

I watched you watch her without a sound
I saw your eyes move, look down at the ground
I didn't even know you, yet you drew me in
but you liked my friend, I couldn’t win

your thoughtful eyes but your tickling touch
each time I saw you, I wanted you so much
and just to watch you, walking on your beach
I wished I was staying, it was you I wanted to reach

you said you were ready for something more
it wasn't just sex you were looking for
you weren't like the others, I knew it at once
and I loved to watch you, so cute as you danced

so how can I miss someone I hardly knew?
how come when I want to feel happy I think of you?
and how come I always do this, choose the one I can't have?
and I want to go back, because not seeing you makes me sad
